Convert Nectar Points into Avios and Vice Versa

British Airways has entered into a new partnership with Nectar, giving customers the opportunity to convert Nectar points into Avios, effective 25 January 2021.

Nectar is a popular loyalty card scheme in the UK which works with companies such as Sainsbury's, Esso and eBay, to name but a few.

The conversionof points works both ways, and customers who wish to receive more Nectar points can convert 250 Avios into 400 Nectar points.

To convert points, customers need to link their Nectar and British Airways Executive Club accounts, both of which are free to join.

Approximately 4,000 Avios points are needed to get a flight to Amsterdam.

What’s more, to celebrate the launch, customers who convert a minimum of 1,600 Nectar points by 14 February will be rewarded with 500 bonus Avios. Customers will also be rewarded with 2x Nectar points at Sainsbury’s until 19 April 2021.

James Moir, Managing Director at Nectar, said: “Partnering with British Airways allows us to provide another exciting way to reward our Nectar customers. Although the past year has been uncertain, it’s important to have something to look forward to. We are delighted to offer customers the chance to turn their points into some incredible future travel experiences via Avios and for the first time, Avios can be turned into Nectar points so customers can make the most out of their everyday spending.”

Avios don’t expire as long as members collect, use or purchase at least one Avios every 36 months, and if members change their mind about a flight, they won’t lose their Avios as changes or cancellations can be made up to 24 hours before a flight for a small fee.

Adam Daniels, CEO of Avios, said, “Like Nectar, we pride ourselves on working with a wide range of partners for the benefit of our members, so working together was a natural step. Nectar will join hundreds of partners who all offer a whole host of exciting and varied ways to collect and spend Avios.”
